New JConcepts TRX-4M Landmines and Tusks Tire Options

Press Release From JConcepts:

The JConcepts designers have opened the imagination to create an all-new Landmines 1.0” performance scale tire in a 57mm outside diameter. The Landmines, developed for smaller scale trucks after tuning and analysis have reached the summit and are now available to the crawling enthusiast. The design starts with a robust carcass carefully shaped and sized for a multitude of conditions and capable of completing those difficult courses while being down-to-earth enough to carry a scale appearance. Available unmounted for customer versatility or pre-mounted on JConcepts #3446 Shuttle wheels, the Landmines are practical and ready for use.

The team spent considerable time with the split-block center design which has been sliced, stepped, and recessed for flexibility and contortion over sharp, loose, and polished surfaces. The Landmines have alternating solid and cavity pads which are ideal for transitioning from smooth dirt or pavement into dirt, mud, and rocky terrain. Moving toward the edges of the carcass, the scaling tire has horizonal grippy pads with edge and channels to provide additional forward climbing bite.

Down within the tread, a lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars pull the design together to work together at shallow and deep sinking positions. Once power is applied to the vehicle, the tread spacing opens which allows for deep digging, making it a great working tire in dirt and muddy conditions. As the tread rolls down the sidewall, a whole new course of tread and side-lugging is applied. A grippy radial ring provides a consistent rubber contact patch in pinched conditions while in the vertical plane, new traction bars alternate between angular and island mapping for squeeze grip.

The major flexibility of the super soft green compound combined with the lug arrangement gives the tire a grippy feel but still maintains that all important scale and performance look. The overall 57mm height provides plenty of ground clearance for an abundance of terrain and bossed side-wall logos read with beauty and balance. The tire size is compatible with and fits the TRX-4M scale truck and works and clears hard body shells like stock tire size combinations. The tires include a soft open cell foam insert capable of standing up to the compound but flexible enough for sharp terrain. Battlefield, watch-out, Landmines are taking over.

• Robust carcass, split-block design, 1:1 inspired
• 1.0” bead mounting diameter compatible and fits TRX-4M
• 57mm | 2.25” overall size without insert
• Sliced, stepped, and recessed lugs for contortion control
• Super Soft, Green compound
• Lightning pattern, knob plots and connector bars for extra edges
• Radial sidewall lugs and extra island mapping for squeeze grip
• Includes soft, open cell insert
• Available pre-mounted to fit TRX-4M

JConcepts continues to muscle new scale off-road items into the market with the introduction of the Tusk 1.0” tire in the 57mm outside diameter variation. After successful tires such as the Landmines, the team focused on a new design with information learned by driving, crawling, and important input from a heap of development time by the JConcepts team. The team used a 57mm | 2.25” outside diameter sizing making it a very high-performance and scale-based tire, but the tread layout went under the scope for changes.

The Tusk has an animal-like instinct while it makes its way over terrain with hefty lugs and sidewall support. The center of the tire starts with a V-shaped lug with multiple steps to the sides for additional grip while the super soft green compound rubber flexes and contours to the landscape. The design team added large, staggered traction bars off the side continuing the V-shape pattern and while the shorter version steps in conjunction with the center lug, the longer version fills a void underneath and meets up near the center line of the tire.

The Mirrored aspect to the tire lays out beautifully and alternating rows provide a staggered height affect. JConcepts has added sidewall lugging for pinch grip and gap crawling and relieved a small portion of rubber for increased flexibility. All traction bars and lugging have relieved cuts and slots on the top to split up the flat surfaces for additional little edges for light dirt, dust, and debris. The sidewall lettering is highly detailed on the Tusk with naming, sizing, and identification.
